           Summary: Opening wine configuration tool for the first time
                    brings up an error window - winemenubuilder
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.10
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: veejunk1 at hotmail.com


Running the "Configure Wine" utility brought up an error message window
"winemenubuilder.exe has encountered an error...".

This happened after a clean install of Wine-1.3.10 in ubuntu 10.04 from the
ppa.  

No windows applications were installed - I just went to
Applications>Wine>Configure Wine to see what the defaults were and the Error
window popped up.  After a while the configuration window appeared and seems to
be ok.  I closed the config and error windows and tried it again.  No error
message this time, the config window came up ok.

This looks like a first run issue.  Perhaps the config window code expects at
least one windows app to have been installed?

This gives a bad impression of wine to a new user.
